Sound Out Chapter Books - Set B-1

by Matt Sims

Each book in the Sound Out series is written in chapter format with stories that have the charm and wit to keep kids coming back for more. Sound Out Chapter Books give students numerous opportunities to practice decoding one-syllable and simple two-syllable words.

Set B includes six books that give practice in all the decoding skills found in Set A plus two groups of new skills: three of the books focus on consonant blends and digraphs and three focus on diphthongs, r-controlled vowels, and silent letters. Like Set A, only single-syllable words are included.

Additional Sound Out Chapter BooksSound Out A-1 and Sound Out A-2: focuses on short and long vowels (one-syllable words).Sound Out B-2: more practice with the same skills taught in B-1Sound Out C-1 and Sound Out C-2: includes skills taught in Levels A and B, and adds inflectional endings, compound words, prefixes and suffixes, and regularly spelled two-syllable words
